Shriya flags off

The Green Marathon was kick started at the Tirupur Town Hall by actress Shriya. The event was organized under the aegis of Isha Foundation’s Pasumai Karangal Scheme, which donated over 25,000 saplings. The Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu MK Stalin planted the first sapling and started the proceedings. Isha’s founder Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev was the chief guest at the event.

The Green Marathon was flagged off by actress Shriya, which began at the Town Hall and ended at the Tirupur Old Bus Stand. Speaking at the event, Shriya said that planting of trees will reduce the global warming to a great extent. She also appealed to the people to not use plastic bags.

Prakash Raj said that only solution to increase the groundwater level is to plant trees, which will facilitate heavy rains.
